Seeta aur Geeta

My Bollywood history is shaky - and all my reference books are downstairs - so I just have to ask: did the whole world fall in love with Hema Malini after this movie came out?Because it should have. She rocks.

Most things I touch are turning to "enh" today - a colleague described a graphic I designed as looking like vomit-covered baby poop, and she wasn't wrong - so I don't think a full response to this delightful film is in order. Just watch it. It's fun. And it has roller skates.

Also, the clothes are fantastic. 60s/70s in all the right ways, such as above. Nary a fug to be found.

I too love this film and I love Hema in it. It gets better with repeat viewing. I happen to have seen it for the second and third time in the last five days. (It's been a rough five days; this was just what I needed.) Manorama is *brilliant* as the mean old auntie.

Oh! I saw this recently, and it's one of my all-time favorites. Yes, it made me fall madly in love with Hema Malini. It's the best Cinderella story ever -- the princess gets rescued by her own kick-ass alter ego, AND the clothes are magnifcent.
